People ask me this all the time, so I’ll just say: look at the transgender hate panic, a thing that had no organic element and did not arise from the public, and was instead imposed upon everyone by the world’s most hateful, poisonous and malignant media class.

That's what I thought too, but then it started happening involuntarily, and I thought it would never end. But, the truth is that if you let it out, it actually starts to get better.

You're right to follow the instinct not to trust NYT. Legacy media has a history of suppressing stories to benefit their own interests, such as maintaining access to politicians and benefiting their own small socioeconomic club.

This is obviously immoral. But I also wonder about the impacts on the broader labor market. Having below-market convict labor in the system must drive relative wages down.

If so, then to prisoners, the government acts as a monopsony for their labor. The government is the only entity the prisoners can sell their labor to, and therefore, the government can pay them pennies. The government then resells prisoners' labor at a discounted rate relative to market

Did the 13th Amendment create a government monopoly on slave labor? I think there's an argument with prison labor

Once I argued with my coworkers about whether AI could write a story better than a human. I wrote a short story then asked AI to create a version based on the premise & WC. The result: inconsistent, oddly inversely racially stereotyped, Netflix formula drivel. My coworkers didn't read either version

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

Every single damn day men kill their family members, including an incident just last week where a man in MT killed 8 members of his family — 4 of them children. But you barely heard a peep about it in the national conversation. Men killing their families is so common there’s a name for it… 1/
